Hot off the release of “luck… or something,” Hilary Duff sat down with Alex Cooper to record an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast to spill on her career. As soon as the clips dropped, we clocked her hair immediately.
Working with longtime collaborator, Barb Thompson, Duff’s hair has effortless movement and lots of body. A bit of a departure from her recent tour looks. Obviously, we got in touch with Thompson to get the details.
Thompson tells The Tease, “The goal? I really wanted an effortless, ‘cool girl’ relaxed wave with soft curves and a fluid, bouncy bend.” She used Surface Hair’s Blowout line to create this style. Read on for a detailed breakdown on the look!
Get the Look:
- “For this look, I started with damp hair, misting Surface Hair’s All In Leave-In Conditioner to prep the hair since it is great for shine, heat protection, and detangling. Once the hair was 3/4 dry, I partnered that with the Surface Hair Blowout Primer, a lightweight pre-style spray designed to enhance bounce and lock in style memory. I followed with a 2.5 inch round brush to sculpt a smooth, airy base that still has movement. A blow dry like this is also an important way to create the perfect canvas for curling iron work.
- Once dry, I sprayed the Surface Hair Blowout Finishing Spray to provide extra heat protection and shine to the hair before going in with a duo of larger barreled irons. First, I used a 1.25” curling iron through the back and worked up the head finishing with a 1.5” iron at the top sections. For the technique, I made sure to curl all pieces away from the face, never taking sections bigger than the iron I was using at the time. It is also important to let the section fully cool before disrupting it. This helps the look last longer!
- To finish, I had Hilary flip her hair over and I used my fingers to run through the iron work so the end result was smooth yet airy. To pump up the volume and break up the loose waves even more, I misted the Surface Hair Blowout Texture Spray from the roots to mid shafts, having her then flip back up. To help break up the ends, I used Surface Hair’s Blowout Dry Shampoo Foam to create effortless, chic texture. In addition to extending your style, a dry shampoo foam is also great for lightweight lift and body.
- Once we were happy with the whole look, I sealed it in with Surface Hair’s Awaken Finishing Spray to maintain the curvature of the waves and ensure a lasting hold, all while keeping the hair touchable.”
